Our results suggest that although diffuse FDG uptake usually indicates Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the risk of thyroid cancer must be recognized in both diffuse FDG uptake and diffuse-plus-focal FDG uptake on PET scan.

TLG may reflect tumor metabolism for clinicopathological factors of breast cancer better than SUV(max) or MTV.

F-FDG uptake in PTC may be determined by GLUT-3 and GLUT-4 expressions and may be related to tumor size and lymph node metastasis of PTC. F-FDG uptake may reflect tumor progression of PTC.

(18)F-FDG uptake can be determined by GLUT-1 and VEGF. SUV(max) would have a connection with the tumor progression and lymph node metastasis.
